Opportunities

So many choices right now,
yet still somehow I don't want out,
but there's one tiny glimmer
that continues to shimmer,
could you be what I need?

So innocent, you are;
like a twinkling star
lost among the rest,
but shining the best.
I wonder.
Could you be what I need?

I don't want to hurt you.
Perhaps I should alert you.

I stay away
because it seems the right way.
You don't need the confusion I've faced,
but you don't have to be alone in this place.

If you ever decide
you'd like to try,
I'm here.

It's kind of funny
that I sit and wonder
what you're like
deep inside.
Could you be what I need?

I'd like to show you
all you never knew,
and try to make the present
a little more pleasant.

Just maybe,
could you be what I need?
